This study investigates how the data about environmental conditions can be used in order toprovide individuals with the tool to claim against industrial companies causing the pollutionand affecting people’s life. Based on extensive research in relation to the political, social,technological and ethical context of the use case, the design solution introduces an open dataplatform where individuals and NGOs can collect, store, analyse and reuse collected data. Proposed design outcome is creating a bridge between users outside of technological scopeand the emerging field of IoT devices in order to make the data collection affordable andaccessible. It introduces a workflow for implementing the off-shelf technology into the digitalinfrastructure together with supportive functionalities to use collected information forcontext-specific purposes. The concept was developed with strong emphasis on implementingdemocratic values into the design solution, such as protection of personal data, distributedgovernance and transparency.
